But at that point, he would have been doing the same for us as well. eh.<BR/><BR/>Now, with Andrew, as long as you cuddle him and/or give him a bottle, he doesn't care who you are.The Thiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17258649356636339164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1156601197861186952006-08-26T09:06:00.000-05:002006-08-26T09:06:00.000-05:00Unfortunately we don't have a CSA in our area. I think there are some in Nashville and Memphis, but then the tradeoff becomes burning fossil fuels!Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1156598143528478542006-08-26T08:15:00.000-05:002006-08-26T08:15:00.000-05:00Lots of small farmers donate to soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Our CSA (community supported agriculture) has a program with low-income families in Dorchester to provide fresh fruits and veggies. In many low-income neighborhoods fresh produce is not available, even at local supermarkets!!!! <BR/><BR/>You should check out the CSAs in your area for next year. Buying a share is a good way to support local farmers, get fresh produce and help local indigent populations at the same time. Check out the website: http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/csa/<BR/><BR/>Then you can go to the farmers market to supplement your share!!<BR/><BR/>We LOVE it!!!!TLShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229618337323388406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1156550615156655762006-08-25T19:03:00.000-05:002006-08-25T19:03:00.000-05:00I agonized for about 2 yrs. over leaving a crying child. I was sure she would be scarred for life from separation anxiety. Before I knew it she had "separated" from me to IN, MA, CA, and IL. So much for that worry.Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1156543573808023622006-08-25T17:06:00.000-05:002006-08-25T17:06:00.000-05:00<EM>I hate that the kid was so upset, but at the same time it feels good to know that only I will do.</EM><BR/><BR/>See, now I never got to experience that. Noelle has never met a stranger she didn't love, and I was always the last person she wanted! =(<BR/><BR/>The experience at the farmer's market is indeed nourishment for the soul.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12506207484517033655noreply@blogger.com
